Note
Wine Selection: Choose a flavorful wine that you enjoy drinking. Red wines like Zinfandel or Gamay Beaujolais work well for a richer jelly, while white wines like Chardonnay or Fum&# 195;© Blanc offer a lighter, fruitier profile. Port or Sherry can be used for a sweeter variation.
Storage: Keep refrigerated at all times. The jellies will keep for about 2 months.
Yield: This recipe makes approximately 4 cups of jelly, which fits into several 8-ounce jars.
